Doesnt it man....we though there was something wrong with the car or the install because the spool up sounded so much more aggresive. Its so high pitched now and loud! I love it

So you are saying, that with your mods your turbo spools up 600 rpms sooner than stock.

"Spoolup" is definitely subjective. There is no standardized way people test spoolup. The way I've always tested it is to start in 5th gear from 2000 rpm on a flat road and go WOT. I just watch my boost gauge and tach to see what rpm I hit full boost.

Also, the weight of the car can skew numbers. Having passengers, going up a slight incline, having a strong headwind, etc. will help your spool numbers.

600 rpm gain in spoolup definitely doesn't sound right for just a fmic mod. Can you list your mods?
